Flock & ALPR Cameras in Burlington, Vermont
Volunteers have reported 7 automated license plate readers in and around Burlington — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.
Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 7 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Burlington, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 3 of them sit inside Burlington itself.
The rest sit in South Burlington (4).
7 of them name an operator in the record: Lowes (3), Burlington Hyundai (likely) (1), Burlington Subaru (likely) (1), Burlington Subaru (probably) (1), Lowe's (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Burlington
These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Burlington — here’s where that data goes.
